Can you tell who has a “good” voice and who has a “bad” voice just by looking someone in the face who is lip-syncing to a song?
This is the question posed to participants weekly on the Fox game show I Can See Your Voice, hosted and created by Ken Jeong. “The whole show is predicated on, is this a ‘good’ singer or a ‘bad’ singer without ever hearing them actually hearing them sing,” Jeong tells Deadline during a panel at its Contenders Television: Documentary + Unscripted awards-season event. “We use visual clues, lip-sync clues, and like detective kind of clues.
At the end of the day, the contestant has an opportunity to win life-changing money by determining if the final secret voice is good or bad.
And if it is good, then they can win up to $100,000. It’s really just feel-good television at its best.” Casting and coaching are perhaps the most important elements of the show because the singers are good actors that can fool even the best panelists — a group that includes Cheryl Hines and Adrienne Bailon-Houghton and a variety of guests including Yvette Nicole Brown, Taye Diggs and Dionne Warwick, to name a few.
